Great series. I'm not exactly sure why I liked it so much. I think because of the happy, breezy style. It never was overly emotional. No overbearing evil person. It was mostly a happy drama. It VERY lightly explored attraction in a same sex way, but nothing really to make a political statement. Very good fun. Recommend it if you like a nice romantic drama.
I just finished episode 10. I cannot believe how slowly the plot unfolds. Is this a cure for insomnia? Is it worth…
The last 4 or 5 episodes do pick up. It is up to you what you like. I agree it plodded along for a while. I finished. It has its merits and I liked it, but you are right. It gets a bit blah for a while.
I think whichever you see first ends up being your favorite. This one was my first and it's my fave. I still agree…
Well you MAY be right in the first being your favorite because I think overall I easily prefer BOF. The Taiwanese MG was great. It has something distinctly special. The Chinese MG had great production and was high quality, but it was distilled down too much. And the ending was God awful. The way they handled the wedding/dream whatever it was. Terrible. Lol. But still I enjoyed it too. For the mentioned reasons, this one is my least enjoyed of them all. It could have been great, but cramming so much into only 9 ep killed it for me. Many people loved it though so I'm in the minority.
This was the first sageuk I watched and at the time I thought it was amazing. Looking back at it now though there…
This was my first sageuk too. I loved it. I am not sure why all the backlash in the comments recently. It is an 8.5 for a reason. It is an excellent series and a very good starting point to sageuks because it's not a super long commitment episode wise. Still love it.
Many have argued the 'cinematography'. Most agree it is great, but some scoff and talk of Chinese epic dramas as better. While it will always be subjective in some aspects, I think most who truly understand know that Mr Sunshine is close to the highest quality in terms of cinematography ever. Cinematography goes beyond natural vistas etc. It entails much more. Def: Cinematography is the act of capturing photographic images in space through the use of a number of controllable elements. These include the quality of the film stock, the manipulation of the camera lens, framing, scale and movement. This drama has all this in spades. I have found much of this drama slow paced and laborious. The romance is incredibly heavy handed, but that doesn't mean I don't like it. I have expressed before I LOVE the time period and the backdrop of Japan and America vying to some degree with Russia for the hermit country. The juxtaposition of Josean garb with the late 1800s fashion of America/Europe is wonderful. Anyway, the point is the series OBVIOUSLY was given quite a production budget and the cinematography and the greatness of the filming quality is not lost on me and many of you. It's gorgeous.
I had a couple typos there, the girl back with who she saw as her BROTHER not mother. Lol. Good you have seen My Love Eun Dong. I loved it VERY much too. Yes my heart went out to Li. Her heart was trampled. I certainly felt empathy for her.
Indeed, but the boy HAD to go back to his parents. The girl was a bit more dicey. In the end it would appear that all got what they wanted or needed. It appeared the little girl would be adopted and back with the bit she viewed as her mother and Li would get a child. BUT that doesn't cover the issue of Li and the girl, especially if she indeed raised her from 2 months on. Tough movie. The Korean drama 'My Love Eun Dong' deals with a similar issue.
I liked it very much. Some serious moral quagmires. The end was odd. It presented a final perplexing idea. Did Li decide to give up since she found out she was pregnant? That is interesting because it was more she needed a child to simply fill her life almost like it wasn't true love for the children her man brought her. It was a poignant movie. Truth is stranger than fiction.
I watched this cause I heard it was the saddest movie. I like to cry and am a total crybaby when it comes to movies.…
Haha, you are like me. I'm always chasing the cathartic cry. Hope, Miracle in Cell n#7, 1 Litre of Tears, Angel Eyes had me bawling. And I'm a 47 year old, completely straight, middle America, NFL football loving guy too. Hahaha.
